I have been a top rated seller for many years and this last couple of weeks have been very bad, my sales have dwindled to almost nothing, is anyone else experiencing this?

·1 year agoHi, yes consistent and growing sales over past 4 years, hit middle august 2024 and it’s down to nearly nothing. Totally understand everyone is struggling. It’s only that my traffic to my website and other avenues are still consistent just sales on eBay have stalled.

·1 year agoMy sales are up but then so are some of the prices of what I sell and I have increased my listings. But I am not expecting things to get better anytime soon.

·1 year agoHere is the figures to show that although sold quantity is down sales are still up as I had increased my listings by around 10% .

·1 year agoLast week I posted about things were not so good but over the weekend and the past two days things have really picked up very quickly. Hope it's the same for you! And that it's not just a blip... though I expect it to be.

·1 year agoHave definitely noticed a drop in sales recently. Not just sales, but inquires from potential buyers have gone down significantly.

OP1 year agoI have always loved my business and poured my heart and soul into it, I do not feel EBay is doing enough for their sellers, they just seem to take and not give back. I hope your sales improve soon

·1 year agoYes, have been experiencing very significant drops in sales since before last Xmas, and I'm aware my items are from from essential. To the point I started running discount sales which I've never had to do in the past 12 years. Even during the discounting it has been hard to get people to spend, so I'm not going to bother with that much longer. People seem happier paying full price!
I manage a range of clients who have small businesses and it has been exactly the same for them. They're all asking for ideas on how to get people to spend money on their things.

OP1 year agoTried the discount route but have a small profit margin and after eBay’s cut really not worth it

·1 year agoNo. Mine are up, year on year.

·1 year agoDitto. Up 25% year on year

·1 year agoHalf your luck. Mine are only up 15%.
But we work on year on year, not the last fortnight.

·1 year agoOP's items are certainly 'luxury' items in the current economic situation many find themselves in.

·1 year agoI agree with you.

·1 year agoI'm sure there are... and I imagine many would be sellers.
However that's not the question OP asked.

OP1 year agoI understand that but surely not all my good customers!
